Other Advent songs [from the 1991 edition] would
include 49b, 117, 130, 149, 151, 232, 250, 291, 421,
438, 495, 502, 567, and 572. Other advent hymns might
include 102, 121, and 299. But when you consider that
traditional sermon topics for Sundays in Advent are
the Four Last Things (death, judgment, heaven and
hell) one must grope to find a Sacred Harp tune which
isn't an Advent song.

1: Written as an Easter hymn. Chris Brown and Matthew Wojcik noted that Milford's poetry was "An Hymn for Easter Day," which explains why "If Angels sung a Savior's birth/on that auspicious morn/We well may imitate their birth/Now he again is born."
